How to prove that two groups with different presentations are isomorphic in a naive way?

143 Views Asked by At

One can define a presentation of a group naively (ala Dummit-Foote in Chapter 1.2), i.e., as a group generated by certain elements with certain relations such that all other relations follow from the given ones. (By "naively" I mean not formally (as being an appropriate quotient of the free group on some letters).) I was wondering, what exactly does one need to show in order to prove that two "naively presented groups" (with different presentations) are isomorphic?
